Alternative turnsignal suggestions - LotusTalk

Minnis · 05-23-2009, 12:12 PM

I am in the process of filling in my turnsignals. I need suggestion as to where to relocate them to. I know Eddie has them in his headlights somehow (how?) but I was looking for other ideas too. I always wanted to do something like the Oreca Viper but not sure on the Elise. I've changed my front even more from the picture below but I could also add the LED turns from the Porsche- I found them as a kit. I could also put them as driving lights in the big mouth.. but small

Mount something in the driving light locations in the mouth of the front end or you could use an LED strip in the upper oil cooler air duct.

I've seen them integrated into the headlamp by installing LEDs in the bottom portion of it. Looks pretty sharp.

I simply used my DRL's .... switched out the bulb to amber, and it was wired to my turn signal wiring

My god, that looks awesome w/o completely biting off the Audi style, and the front looks so much better w/o the inner markers.

I tend to pride myself on doing mods nobody else has, but I think I need to do that one as well on my clam I'm working on.
